Every day I have reason to be grateful for Christian Science, grateful, too, that my mother and father accepted and demonstrated it from the time I was a small child. As I grew up, my search for the truth led me to accept Christian Science for myself. Through its study I have had countless blessings and instances of divine protection, and many healings, some of them instantaneous.
I now understand the special kind of gratitude that comes after a long-delayed healing. About five years ago I had a healing that took about eighteen months. I was indeed grateful for all the lessons learned.
My condition caused great concern to my husband and our friends. The appearance of one of my eyes was affected. My hands shook, and I was rapidly losing weight. Because of my husband's anxiety I asked for prayerful treatment from a Christian Science practitioner, with the result that quite soon I stopped losing weight, and my hands became steady. I was particularly grateful for this, as a shaking hand had made my work as a painter and an art teacher very difficult.
